Construction sites come with real risks, especially when heavy equipment like cranes is involved. When something goes wrong—whether it’s a mechanical failure or a defect—those incidents can lead to serious, life-changing injuries in an instant.
At Morici, Longo & Associates, we’ve worked with individuals injured in these types of accidents, including cases involving defective crane components. In one situation, a bracket failed after U-bolts gave out, causing a devastating accident. The worker survived, but spent months in the hospital and was left with permanent injuries that made it impossible to return to work. What made it worse was learning that the manufacturer had known about the issue and failed to fix it.
Cases like this aren’t always straightforward. There can be multiple parties involved—the equipment manufacturer, contractors on site, or even the property owner. Figuring out who is responsible takes a close look at the equipment, maintenance history, and what was happening on the job site at the time of the accident.
That’s where a thorough investigation matters. Looking at the details, working with the right experts, and understanding how the failure occurred can make all the difference in building a strong case.
When someone is seriously injured in this type of accident, the impact goes beyond the immediate medical care. There’s often time away from work, long-term limitations, and a real change in day-to-day life. Any claim should reflect that full picture—not just the short-term costs.
These cases also tend to involve manufacturers and insurance companies that move quickly to protect themselves. Having the right legal representation helps ensure that the focus stays where it should—on what happened and what it’s cost you.
